and almost 6 years later haven’t we learned anything?

No, no we haven’t. Our species really shows how many of us are just… primates wearing pants.

Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.

It’s not as though that power structure behind the economic system is leveraged to dismantle and destroy competing economic systems or labor rights or anything. Yeah, totally and completely separate and never the twain shall meet. The CIA definitely didn’t use economic terrorism to force countries to submit to US cartels business demands.

Nothing has ever happened, like say, the US corporations using their wealth to dominate the court systems and laws of other counties to do something like put media “pirates” calling themselves “The Pirate Bay” in prison for things that were legal in their own country to enforce the US’s own draconian capitalistic IP laws.

What an absolute crock of shit dude get a grip. Capitalism is oligarchy by any other name.

That moment when you realize you’re not in !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone and people are talking about an entirely different kind of top than you were thinking.

This is dope, though, I also thought top was just stuck in time.

Sorry I spaced on answering this but I am unfamiliar with funkwhale so I don’t really know!

G.L.O.S.S. comes to mind. Too short lived.

Not a torrent site but Soulseek/Nictone+ is a very old school Limewire-style service that you can curate with friends lists and choosing what to share and not share.

Orpheus is dedicated to music, and one other one which I forget the name of. It’s kind of interesting how music trackers were what made torrenting explore originally but not music trackers are often an afterthought.

A show I forgot from my prior post because it’s so new is Joe Cappa’s Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It’s very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.

Joe Pera Talks With You

Joe’s love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene’s sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.

The Midnight Gospel

It’s only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell’s relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.

Nathan For You

While Nathan For You really isn’t about Nathan Fielder’s relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn’t promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist

As noted in a comment reply about Bob’s Burgers, largely made by the same group of people behind Bob’s Burgers, but back in the 90’s. A sweet relationship between a single father and his aimless but golden hearted adult son.

Before Bob’s Burgers there was Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, which is where H. Jon Benjamin (voice of Bob) really got on the map in the 90’s. He was so young back then, he played the son.

But I always thought it was a very sweet relationship between a single father who was very understanding and patient with his twenty-something year old son who was perpetually without a job and very immature. So patient, so kind, so loving, no intent ever to kick him out and make him “grow up.”

In fact, Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob’s Burgers are all Loren Bouchard projects. He was a writer/producer/editor on Dr. Katz but he was a creator on Home Movies and Bob’s Burgers.

Fun fact about Dr. Katz. Jon Benjamin’s character, Ben, was infatuated with his fathers secretary, Laura, who was played by Laura Silverman. Even though in the show her character couldn’t stand Ben, in real life Jon Benjamin and Laura Silverman were dating at the time.

You are in fact correct. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the modernized version of the very very old BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).

It brought a parade of improvements including the GPT (GUID [Global Unique Identifier] Parition Table) partition table replacing the old MBR (Master Boot Record) partition table.

No EFI environment detected?

Sounds like someone deleted the EFI partition maybe.

Or the machine is so old it still has a BIOS.

I wouldn’t delete stuff from the laptop manufacturer right away, but the AdwCleaner is an AdWare cleanup app from Malwarbytes and can be safely removed as it had nothing to do with Windows Defender.

Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go in terms of partition size. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive. Depending on how much RAM you have and your page file settings, a significant portion of that space you’re looking at could just be a page file for swapping data in and out of RAM.

Have a good none, Bob

I always took COVID seriously and got vaccines as soon as I could. I made it all the way through COVID without getting COVID once.

Then I was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 after making it through a fucking pandemic ha.

I don’t talk about my vaccine status in relation to my cancer in public super often because I don’t want to deal with idiots who will blame my cancer on my COVID vaccines. Which I just know some people are itching to be like “SEE WE TOLD YOU” despite the kind of cancer I have being fairly common long before COVID or the vaccines for it were around.

Anyway, I continue to take my vaccine regiment pretty seriously since I’m immunocompromised now and all.

I appreciate you and everyone else who takes it seriously, too, because it helps me know that other people take it seriously for the sake of people like myself, whose immune systems need the help of herd immunity to really make it through.

So, thanks and cheers!

Yeah my point was less about the copyright aspect and more about the free distribution aspect. It’s definitely sad that they don’t have their own free-and-open-for-all version but oh well.

Look into the Gideons. I don’t agree with all their philosophy obviously, but they’re like the Open Source/Open Knowledge group of the Christian faith.

One of their main things is that they think since the Bible is the word of God, and people deserve to be saved, that it’s their job to ensure everyone gets a fair shake at access to a Bible without having to pay for it. You used to always be able to find a Bible in a hotel thanks to them, and they’re often at public gatherings handing out copies as well.

I’m not religious, and I don’t agree with much of what they believe, but I do think that is an appropriate way to view the situation, that it should be freely available to all instead of essentially locked behind a paywall.

Taco trucks

Hard second this, taco trucks are preem.
